The Metaverse development plan, announced by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg last year, envisions a future where virtual reality permeates various aspects of daily life.
While it’s known that social interactions will play a significant role in the future Metaverse, discussions among tech enthusiasts also delve into how intimate relationships and sexuality will unfold in this environment.
An article in Analytics Insight explores the role of sexuality in the Metaverse landscape and technological advancements.
The article notes that the sex technology industry has become a $30 billion market and is projected to grow to $52.7 billion by 2026.
Similar to sex robots, sex toys are also evolving in line with the latest developments in technology and the augmented reality environment.
As Metaverse technology is known to create increasingly realistic experiences, it is speculated that sexuality may become even more natural in the future through virtual reality.
While consensual virtual sex is suggested as a possibility in the Metaverse, it is also emphasized that issues such as harassment and assault will have consequences, mirroring real-world consequences.
